Comment Paying Bills on line (Score 1) 283
I pay just about all my bills on line, however I do not use any special services. My mortage is automatically debited from my checking account, same with my phone bill & water bill. I've set up my American Express, CitiBank, MBNA & Chase Manhattan credit cards to do this also. I have my Dish Network automatically billed to my Discover Card. Just about all types of payments can be "auto payed" from a checking account, just go to thier web sites or call customer service and you will probably find the information to set it up. I also had an account at Telebank which gave FREE bill payment services for all your bills. If it was unable to initiate an Electronic payment (say to a credit card), it will mail out a check to whatever address you specify. There are other on line banks that give this service for FREE (Wingspan etc..), so I'd check them out too. Be cautious of fees though. My only personal experience has been with Telebank, and they do not charge any fees at all, with a minimum balance of $1000 and I think it's just $5 a month if you fall below that. (I do not work for Telebank or have any finacial stake in the company, this is only personal experience) I wouldn't waste my money paying for a bill paying service, there are plenty of free services out there, and I feel more will be coming.
